architecture of aggression

megadeth’in countdown to extinction albümünden bir parça.

born from the dark,
in the black cloak of night.
to envelop its prey below,
deliver to the light.
to eliminate your enemy,
hit them in their sleep,
and when all is won and lost,
the spoils of wars are yours to keep.

[chorus]
great nations built from the bones of the dead
with mud and straw, sweat and blood,
you know your worth when your enemies
praise your architecture of aggression

[solo : marty]

ensuing power vacuum
a toppled leader dies
his body fuels the power fire
and the flames rise to the sky
one side of his face a kiss
the other genocide
time to pay with your ass
a worldwide suicide

[chorus]
[solo : marty]

born from the dark
in the black cloak of night
to envelop its prey below
deliver to the light
to eliminate your enemy
hit them in their sleep
and when all is won and lost
the spoils of war are yours to keep
